People seem to lose sight of the fact that Hitler was a 'National Socialist' and shared more common ground with Stalin and the Communist regimes of the world. He believed that everything should be owned by the state and the state would dictate the roles that everyone must serve in their lives. Freedom is not a Communist ideal as to be free means that people can't all be forced to be equal and can make themselves rich or be poor and life is ultimately down to the individual, luck, chance etc.
Nationhood is simply an extension of the family unit or village, town, city community grouping together for their communal success in the human 'race' for resources and to survive and thrive it's like being part of a team or squad and if you don't have that cohesion you can bet that others who do will soon take everything that would be defended and protected by that community. The only people who benefit from the destruction of boundaries are those who wish to take what they haven't earned - Rather like Communism. After all why work hard to get somewhere if you can just let someone else do all the work and demand that they, as your 'comrade' 'share the wealth' with you. I'm not wealthy, rich or powerful by any stretch of the imagination but that is no-one else's fault but my own. I never had an 'angle' and, quite frankly, I care so little for the trappings of wealth that I've never felt the need to chase it and do what it takes to acquire it. I'm happy with my lot and, if I ever decide I'm not I will do something about it and I won't blame anyone else because I don't have stuff that I want.
